Clevercell Very disappointing...

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

jpalexander-02945 This is an intelligent well written comedy. It does that clever thing of taking comedy and slipping in sudden moments of despair and sadness when you least expect it. The characters are amusing on the surface but each has depth and a set of feelings that belies their seeming shallow behaviour. There is also plenty of feelings you get of frustration and embarrassment that make for such good observational comedy.

Mouldy I also missed this the first time around and, after catching a promo to the second series (which looked like something I would enjoy), I quickly caught up on the first series over the course of last w/end courtesy of iPlayer, and I am hooked. Reminiscent of the Detectorists in that the comedy is subtle and underplayed. The characters are well written and the acting is top-notch. You really feel as though you're eavesdropping on a real suburban set-up in Chingford.Would recommend to any fan of Damned or Detectorists.

justbethy I haven't signed into IMDb in months and months, maybe even a year or more, but this show was so bad I felt I should watch people against it. I live on 70's 80's and 90's Brit coms and thought I would give something new a try. I wish I hadn't. The acting could not get worse. The script was appalling, the characters insipid. What on Earth happened to British TV that this could ever be acceptable??

moonmaedyn I watched this, after finding it on the recommendations list on this site (i.e. "other people that liked this, also liked THIS"). Not knowing what to expect (but encouraged by the rating), I binged- watched all 6 episodes and found myself genuinely dismayed that it was over!As for some of the characters--well...the actors play their parts so well and it is written SO WELL that I cry every time someone is mean to Kelly (She's just dumb, and doesn't know any better. Last I checked that wasn't a crime, or a reason to be mean to someone), and frankly, the character of her mother, and the way she treated Kelly (who isn't SO dumb that she doesn't realize her mom is a mean snake), just makes me want to four-five her. I guess that's because I've known real people like that. Mean people suck. The fact that Cathy (the Mum) puts up with Kelly's numerous verbal faux pas is really endearing. She seems to understand, and empathizes with her. Just what a Mum ought to do! I know a lot of people that lack the internal "filter," so I guess I'm used to this, too!Anytime something makes the viewer "feel" something (besides disgust!), it's a GOOD thing. Some of the characters are awkward with each other, but I think this would happen in real life, too.I sincerely hope they do a second season. I know that BBC sometimes does these little half-shows like this (Fleabag was another), but I hope there is a chance to develop this into something long term.
